Reading: Proverbs 1-2, Psalm 128, Hebrews 13, and Luke 8
Scripture: Luke 8:39 "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
Thoughts: When we start feeling the calling into some sort of ministry, we all to often think I will have to go to some undeveloped country, learn a new language, and wear uncomfortable cloths to do God’s work. On the other hand we may want to go with the one who help open our eyes to God’s calling. Here in Luke this man wanted to go with Jesus and learn and be a disciple and with his transformation he could have been a great one. Jesus told him to go home. Not to go sulk or complain that he didn’t get to go but to become a blow horn in a place where he was. When we become believers or heard the calling are we becoming blow horn, it is not about going or staying. Some are called to go some are told to stay and within those stay and go there is a multitude of options to serve
Prayer: Father I thank you that you called. I thank you for all the provisions and blessings that you pour out on us each day. I ask that you help me to listen to the timing of the coming and goings you have planed for me and the way we are to serve in the training and preparing. Open our eyes to the next step and keep walking it out.
